Why Adoption is a Great Option

Elwood, a Santa Ana Affenpinscher/Shih Tzu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Affenpinscher/Shih Tzu for sale in Santa Ana, or seeking a Affenpinscher/Shih Tzu dog from a breeder in Santa Ana.

Rescues and shelter volunteers in Santa Ana already know the personality and tendencies
of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it
much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.

On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Santa Ana breeder,
or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for
a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of
savings!

You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home.
In fact, there are even Affenpinscher/Shih Tzu breeders who
help with Affenpinscher/Shih Tzu rescue. One puppy or kitten
adopted in Santa Ana paves the way for another one to be saved.
